I went to visit my mom the first week in February. While my sister went on a fourteen day cruise to the Amazon River. I shopped for groceries and cooked meals large enough for mom to freeze into small meals that are easy to heat up in the microwave. We took rides to see how our home town has grown in 65 years. I took her for a ride to see the house I lived in when I was three years old. It is still standing. Some things never change. I bought this bouquet of tulips for the kitchen table to cheer us up since we have had so much rain this winter. I just love the tulips the growers are developing for the mass market now.

I was out picking some lemons in my mom's back yard to take home and I found this strange looking lemon growing on the tree. It looks like three lemons have grown together. I just had to take a picture. Has anyone ever seen a lemon grow like this?

Valentine card making is just great fun. I made two cards like this one for my older granddaughters. I also included money and a piece of gum in each card. The gum is a tradition since they were small and they love it.

The four younger granddaughters received these cards.

On another note!! Today my honey and I are celebrating the anniversary of our engagement of 50 years. We were married on July 17, 1960. in Santa Clara, CA. About ten years ago we started celebrating Valentines Day at home. We have Lobster for dinner and dance in our kitchen. Our favorite music is Steve Tyrell's A New Standard. It is very romantic.
